Disseminating a
questionnaire via e-mail (with
possibility of being printed and
sent by fax or ordinary mail). It
was sent to 39 countries in the
African, Asian and Latin American

questionnaire inquired whether the
statistics on expenditures and
participation in training activities
were available, or could be
obtained, for at least one year for
the period 1990-2002.
Questions addressed the availability
of statistics on expenditures in
training activities by type of
training, the occupation situation
of trainees, the sector of their
work activity, and the sources of
funding. Statistics on participation
in training activities, breakdown by
occupation, gender, sector, and age
of trainee, were requested.
Information on the availability of
plans for future surveys or
inquiries at the national level, or
any work-in-progress activity on
this area, was also requested. |
